Does anybody have more information on this rare record? I used to see a full picture of this over a decade ago on a website but it's completely disappeared. Eventually, I found this picture on YouTube. I don't know where the account has gone now. Thankfully I got it in time.
From what I can piece together, this was the record that had the very first version of "Ngoblia".

This really was such a let down. I’ve been hyping myself up with Zaïko’s music and then this happens. It’s such a shame.
I thought that it was a lovely to see! And very rare too! Because MINOU has never posted her father online before. Plus I never knew that her name was “Epiphanie”. Being a fan of Koffi, I always knew her as MINOU from songs like “Elle Et Moi” or “S.O.S”.
Me being a Koffi Olomide fan from the day that I was born. I love his music a lot. (I was born between Loi & Droit de Veto, for context) I've always idolised the man, I've always looked up to him as a fantastic performer alongside his Quartier Latin band. I don't even know how to go about this right. I've always dismissed the sexual abuse allegations that went against Koffi Olomide. I always said to myself, "Nah, that's not my problem, I don't really care about that, I can just separate the art from the artist". When you read about these cases. Going away for 10 years and not attending a single trial date to defend yourself screams guilty.
However, when you've been a fan for a lifetime, growing up to his songs and watching VHS tapes and DVDs of him, it's hard. He may have done so much for Congolese music and created such massive milestones, but this is what ruins it. This is genuinely difficult to think about. What do you think? Let me know your opinions down here.
We don't really get videos like this anymore! Werra here is demonstrating his talents as a musician! It would be lovely to see other leaders do the same! Like Koffi on guitar solo (As seen back in 1994 and 1992), Fally on bass as seen at his concerts and Ferre on drums and so on. It would be nice to see if these guys can go above and beyond and see what else they can do!
